DESCRIPTION (from Goodreads)
HER TOUCH IS DEADLY
As the only female Seminus demon ever born, master assassin Sinead Donnelly is used to being treated like an outcast. She spent decades enslaved, and now vows she’ll die before she’ll relinquish her freedom again. Then Sin’s innate ability to kill her enemies goes awry: She creates a lethal new werewolf virus that sparks a firestorm of panic and violence.
HIS HUNGER CAN’T BE DENIED
Half-werewolf, half-vampire Conall Dearghul is charged with bringing in Sin to face punishment for the plague. And she’s no stranger: He’s bound to her by blood, and the one sexual encounter they shared has left him hungering for her raw sensuality. Worse, Sin is the underworld’s most wanted and Con soon learns he’s the only one who can help her . . . and that saving her life might mean sacrificing his own.
A BIT ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I began writing the way so many writers do—the moment I learned to wield a pencil. But even as a child, I didn't write "kid" stories. I preferred something more dramatic. Something that didn't include Dick, Jane, and a dog named Spot. I wanted my characters to be named Dracula and my dogs to have names like White Fang or Cujo. I'll always have my parents to thank for that. They never censored my reading material (though I suspect that if they had truly known what was between the covers of some of the books, they'd have been a little more careful,) so when other girls my age were reading Laura Ingalls Wilder and Judy Blume, I was immersing myself in Stephen King and Dean Koontz.
Later, after I'd joined the Air Force and was in dire need of something to read between shifts at the weather station, I continued to read horror, but I'd branched out into fantasy, and then, finally, romance (though I admit I went kicking and screaming to the latter.)
Turned out that I loved romance! So I started writing it, but again, my style and voice leaned toward the dark, paranormal side. Fortunately for me, paranormal romance, as a sub-genre, was booming. I let my imagination fly, and soon I'd sold a series of dark, sexy paranormal romances to Grand Central Publishing.
I still read a lot of horror, science fiction, and fantasy, and in fact, one of my all time favorite books about writing is On Writing, by my favorite childhood horror author, Stephen King. If you're an author or a reader, I highly recommend this book for an insight into an author's mind—which can sometimes be a very scary place.
Go ahead; Seduce your dark side.
MY THOUGHTS
The more I read Larissa Ione's books the more I love them. This book "Sin Undone" is the 5th in the Demonica Series. I hadn't read anything by Larissa until "Ecstasy Unveiled" which was a great book also by the way. I think I am hooked. "Sin Undone" was even better than "Ecstasy Unveiled" which I didn't think possible. Some paranormal books that I have read seem so predictable and seem to (do I dare say) be the same as all the rest just another paranormal romance but I have to say I am very impressed with this series and I think that Larissa is an excellent and unique writer that has stepped above the rest. "Sin Undone" has very strong characters with wonderful details that pull you into this gripping story for a ride that you will not soon forget. This book has explicit details and is a very erotic romance that you will find very hard to put down.
I would like to thank the author Larissa Ione for another wonderful book and getting me hooked on yet another series, Grand Central Publishing, Forever~Hachette Book Group and Anna Balasi for supplying me with this book to review.
